Carol responds:
To me it's sort of like saying "Republicans for the Devil" except that
a different audience is being appealed to. Or maybe, since more
Republicans than Democrats are fundamentalist Christians who actually
believe in the Devil, maybe "Democrats for the Devil" would be an apt
response to "Republicans for Voldemort" since the clear intention of
the Voldemort slogan is to injure or insult any Republicans who know
who Voldemort is (and perhaps amuse a few unthinking Democrats).
Yes, it's free speech, but it's mean-spirited, and IMO in bad taste.
(Think "Tories for Sauron" if you happen to be British.)
